Galotti: Cognitive Psychology In and Out of the Laboratory 5e
Cognitive Psychology In and Out of the Laboratory provides a student-centered approach for undergraduate courses in cognitive psychology. Kathleen Galotti’s accessible writing style and use of colorful real-life examples bring the full relevance of cognitive psychology into focus for students, and equips them to understand how theoretical principles apply to real-world problems and the complex functions of the human brain. The text features special coverage of the development of cognition from infancy through adolescence, and extensive coverage of gender, individual differences, and cross-cultural approaches to cognition.
The Fifth Edition represents the most substantial revision to date. A four-color design and enhanced illustration program will appeal to instructors and students. All significant content has been incorporated directly into the text rather than being pulled aside into boxes or features which students might miss. The book has been fully updated to reflect the latest research; the number of chapters has been streamlined from sixteen to fourteen; and the overall organization has been improved for easier use in a semester course.
Hettich: Your Undergraduate Degree in Psychology
Innovative strategies for psychology majors to survive and thrive in the workforce
Nearly 100,000 students graduate each year with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and a majority of these students will enter the workforce instead of pursuing a graduate degree. Many will find themselves tentatively deciding their next steps amid a complex and changing economic and job environment.
In this text, authors and professors Paul I. Hettich and R. Eric Landrum provide innovative strategies and tools for succeeding after college with an undergraduate degree in psychology. Drawing on current research data, applied theory, and both academic and workplace experiences, they help stimulate self-reflection and improve decision making as students approach their careers. The text covers key topics in the college-to-career transition, including career planning and development, identifying and transferring marketable skills, building and sustaining strong networks, understanding what employers want and don’t want, coping with personal life changes, becoming a valued employee, and more.

Dr. Galotti is the author or coauthor of dozens of peer-reviewed studies in cognitive and developmental psychology.

Her research has been funded through the National Science Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. She is the author of Making Decisions That Matter: How People Face Important Life Choices (Erlbaum, 2002), as well as a textbook, Cognitive Development: Infancy Through Adolescence (SAGE, 2011).

Subsequently he was program evaluator for the federally funded Cooperative Education Research Laboratory, Inc. At the Intext Corporation he worked as an applied research scientist managing driver behavior research and training contracts. His experiences in military, non-profit, and corporate settings gave him a “real-world” perspective for a 35-year career at Bara College (later Barat College of DePaul University) where he taught various psychology courses, chaired the department, and served in administration as academic dean, grants writer, and institutional researcher. He completed a post-doctoral summer session in program evaluation at Northwestern University and subsequently directed the evaluation of a three-year federally funded Women in Leadership Learning program at Barat College. He was a member of the Danforth Foundation for Teaching excellence and the first recipient at Barat College of the Sears Roebuck Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership.
